			{{KidsIntro\|WikiDeal is trying to figure out the best way to run a fair marketplace where people can make good deals together. This page lists the big questions they're asking and the first answers they've thought of.}}
			{{ExpertIntro\|This page documents WikiDeal's iterative governance framework for a cooperative marketplace platform. We are heading towards distributed decision-making through a three-step validation process: founder hypothesis, steering committee review, and community transmission. The emerging trend suggests that role definitions, legal ownership structures, and affiliate representation will evolve organically as the platform matures, reflecting tensions between initial Wikimedia-influenced governance models and marketplace-specific institutional realities.}}

	'''Question:''' validate "the WikiDeal platform" and "the WikiDeal Sites" as the standard terms replacing the source's "projects" and "sites", for consistency with the future Terms of Use.		'''Question:''' validate "the WikiDeal platform" and "the WikiDeal Sites" as the standard terms replacing the source's "projects" and "sites", for consistency with the future Terms of Use.

	'''Initial hypothesis:''' "the ~~WikiDeal platform~~" is ~~validated~~. "The Sites" is not kept: the standard terms are "the Markets" and "the Portals", defined collectively as "the Platform".		'''Initial hypothesis:''' for the source's "the projects", the standard term is "the Marketplaces". "The Sites" is not kept: the standard terms are "the Markets" and "the Portals", defined collectively as "the Platform".

			=== Trademark policy ===
			'''Question:''' how should the source trademark policy be adapted for WikiDeal?

			'''Initial hypothesis:''' the trademark policy is under construction.

			=== Legitimate informational use ===
			'''Question:''' the source allows "encyclopedic, informational use" of otherwise restricted content. How should legitimate informational use be defined for a contracts platform?

			'''Initial hypothesis:''' "informational use" remains correct, made more specific: legitimate contractual use, such as the documentation of disputes, contract templates and communication text templates (for example alerts). This is reflected in section 3.3 of the [[Policies/en/Universal-Code-of-Conduct\|Universal Code of Conduct]].

			=== Community governance mechanisms ===
			'''Question:''' which concrete WikiDeal mechanisms (internal justice, arbitration) should carry the application of these policies where the source refers to "community governance mechanisms"?

			'''Initial hypothesis:''' mediation and arbitration: the internal justice mechanisms of the [[Gov/en/Portal:Justice/Main\|Justice portal]] and the arbitration internal to the contracts. Mediation can always be requested first, then arbitration.
